In 5.3, you need to use gvinum instead of vinum. To do this set 
start_vinum="NO" in /etc/rc.conf and set geom_vinum_load="YES" 
in /boot/loader.conf.

gvinum will read your vinum configuration just fine so you only need to make 
the changes I suggested to get it to work.

Althought this is documented, it is not what I would call 'well documented' 
yet.
